Since this is the first time Health Service Journal has put together such a list, there’s nothing to compare the rankings against, but suffice it to say Granger would have scored higher a year ago. The magazine cites numerous problems in CfH and the agency’s National Programme for IT, including the likely scenario that the massive IT effort would need a lot more than the £6.8 billion ($12.8 billion) already set aside.

Even buckets of cash can’t solve every IT problem.

By the way, No. 1 on the HSJ50 is Paul Corrigan, health advisor to embattled Prime Minister Tony Blair. It must be steaming Granger’s crumpets that some media types made the list. Even 6,000 miles from home, Granger did a great job running away from me at MedInfo 2004 in San Francisco. He did an even better job avoiding the media by simply cancelling his planned appearance at HIMSS 2006.
